The ancient usual retreat
Takes down the steps the scattering horde;
Adam again has met defeat,
Has missed connections with the Lord. But where the altar-candles die
Waits God, and in a corner prays
The last of heroes who will try
The Gate again in seven days. (Josephine Jacobsen)

The ancient usual retreat Takes down the steps the scattering horde; Adam again has met defeat, Has missed connections with the Lord. But where the altar-candles die Waits God, and in a corner prays The last of heroes who will try The Gate again in seven days.
